Take a Book-Leave a Book

As part of Onondaga County's ongoing Literacy Initiative, Parks is excited to announce the "Take a Book • Leave a Book" book exchange program. Park visitors will have the opportunity to combine two wonderful activities, enjoying the great outdoors and reading a good book.

This free program enables visitors to pick from a varied selection of books found in outdoor book houses at several different parks. Readers are invited to enjoy the book in the park, or take it with them, and either return that book or another* to any of the park locations listed below. There is no charge to participate in the program, although regular park admission rates, where applicable, apply.

Thank you to Liverpool Public Library, and their patrons, for the initial donation of books. Click here to learn about donating books to the library. Many other libraries around the county accept book donations as well. Click here to visit the Onondaga County Public Libraries website.

*Please help us keep our book houses family friendly by not leaving inappropriate material. Thank you.
